  I cannot import my blog from tumblr as it was not originally set up as the primary blog and says on wiki import that it is a custom domain.
  I did not set the blog up as a custom domain and can see no way of changing it.
  Is there any way around this?
  Thanks Jane

  Hi Jane,

  I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble with this. Can you let us know the URL for your Tumblr site so we can take a look for you?

  Okay, it looks like that site is marked as private. Can you try setting it temporarily as public and then using the Tumblr importer via your Tools -> Import page?

  Thanks that worked – just did not import images – do I need to add these in myself by importing seperately ?

  Hm, when I visit your site, the images appear to be displaying for me. Are there certain posts where the images aren’t displaying?

  If so, would you mind letting me know either the titles of those posts or if there’s a specific date rate?

  Only first few that didn’t go in so I have added them. The rest seems ok. Hurrah. Thanks Jane
